[spacecadet] In some sense, genetic algorithms represent every programmer’s fantasy: sit back and let the computer do the thinking for you. No need to study the minutia of antenna design or chemistry, when the computer could be studying it for you, wandering through the “search space”

[Uncommon Descent] The bionic antinomy of Darwinism | Uncommon Descent: —”Thus, elucidating the materialistic basis of the Cambrian explosion has become more elusive, not less, the more we know about the event itself, and cannot be explained away by coupling extinction of intermediates with long stretches of geologic time, despite the contrary claims of some modern neo-Darwinists.”
[ScienceBlogs : News] I have no idea what this thread is about anymore : Pharyngula: And the fact that the rest of Genesis 6 doesn't appear to be a strict chronology (e.g., Genesis 5:32 and 6:10 essentially refer to the same thing, but there is stuff between them, such as Genesis 6:4, which doesn't seem to square with Genesis 6 being a strict chronological recounting from 5:32-7:1). I agree that there definitely seems to be a passage of time between the birth of Noah's sons and the point at which the duluge began, but it seems like your interpreting things a bit to call it an even 100 years.

[Armed and Dangerous] Armed and Dangerous » Blog Archive » Political Economics 101: A Dialog: I cannot conclusively refute Bret’s guesstimate of the density of logic-tolerance among the global (or even American) population of leftists, but my own experience tends to indicate that, while it’s far lower than it would be in an ideal world, it is rather higher than “one in a million”. If it were truly anything like one in a million, a man with a near-defunct social life (such as myself) couldn’t credibly claim to have made friends at various times with at least six such persons, dated two of them, and subsequently married one.
[Snarkmarket] Snarkmarket: Society/Culture: He also seems to have an unusual personality for a politician: early on in Dreams From My Father, he writes: "I had grown too comfortable in my solitude, the safest place I knew." Immediately afterwards, he tells the story of an elderly man who lives in his building, who he sees sometimes, helps with the groceries, but who has never said a word to him. He thinks of the man as a kindred spirit.
[Climate Audit] Unthreaded « Climate Audit: Do you really think it is reasonable for the IPCC and contributors to the IPCC reports supportive of the AGW hypothesis to deny and/or hamper timely public access to the data and methods required by independent researchers to replicate the scientific experiments? How is it not reasonable for a former IPCC reviewer and other members of the public to peer review or independently review the scientific and statistical validity of the published scientific papers used in the IPCC reports as a means of meeting the above stated goals of the IPCC leadership and their supporters in government?
[Making Light] Making Light: SFWA: The Suicide Note: Certainly, had SFWA canned Burt and went out of their way to tell these people that it was their mistake, not Cory's, then people like Cory could probably have kept their communications with SFWA on a private channel. However, since that didn't happen, and not only that, but Burt went so far as to attack Cory in a number of ways (Critters, Le Guin, etc), I think bemoaning the fact that the issue wasn't kept "quiet" or "under wraps" or "out of the public eye" or whatever, and blaming folks like Cory for doing so, is shifting blame from the ijits who caused the cockup in the first place, and shifting it to the people who got crapped on as a result of said cockup.
[Pharyngula] Curse of the Revenge of the Son of the Bride of the Thread That ...: I've never seen someone accuse Hamilton or Wilson of being "genetic determinists" who had the slightest clue as to the research they've actually done. They typically come from some sociological camp or other, that entirely reject the idea that human behavior can be approached from an evolutionary perspective.
[Baha'i Rants] Change is a Law of Nature | Baha'i Rants: I am interested in a dialogue on this subject and I am saying that 1) I do not see sexual orientation as a race 2) I do not see sexual orientation as slavery 3) I do not see GLTB as a specific social group or gender, and if did, I wonder if we should not promote unity by encouraging intermarriage between gays and non-gays or between gays and lesbians. 5) Within the framework of civil laws, we should let religions apply their principles without pressuring them so that we can compare results.
[ScienceBlogs Select] The Tilo Reber Thread : Deltoid: It suggests that the degree of warmth in certain periods in the past, particularly in medieval times, may be underestimated or at least subject to greater uncertainty than is currently accepted. The lack of a clear overview of this phenomenon and the lack of a generally accepted cause had led some to challenge the current scientific consensus, represented in the 2007 report of the IPCC on the likely unprecedented nature of late 20th century average hemispheric warmth when viewed in the context of proxy evidence (mostly from trees) for the last 1300 years.
[The Vigilant Citizen] The Occult Semi-Subliminals of Jay-Z's "On to the Next One" | The ...: Well in rebuttle to that Christians drinking wine to represent Christ’s blood…Satan wanted so bad to be like God or should I say wanted to be God he does everything either opposite or like him such as the upside down cross, using a goat to represent him like the lamb represents Jesus, stigmata, the holy trinity in contrast with Satans trinity (Horus, Isis and Osiris I think it was), Satan having ppl refer to him as the light bearer when Jesus clearly stated that he is the light of the world, using Jesus mother Mary as an intercedent (catholisizm) of prayers when Jesus also clearly states there is no way to the father but through me, Satans ravens and Jesus’s Doves (hence the colors black and white the Masonic symbol of balance of good and evil), the anti-Christ, Satan will perform miracles just as Jesus did and much more
